In terms of hop utilization, I'm not sure what the purpose of the hop addition at 40 minutes is... but there's nothing wrong with adding it then if that's what you want to do.

Also, 2 lbs of crystal malt seems like it would yield a sweetish beer... I'd suggest going with 1 lb instead. On the other hand, you might need that sweetness to stand up to the appropriately intense hop schedule.

I chose 2 lbs of the crystal because the last time I PM'd I only got ~70% efficiency, so I wanted to make sure I hit my intended OG and still maintained enough maltiness to balance the hops. Now that you say it though, I am worried it might end up too sweet, so I'll run the numbers through BeerSmith with 1.5 lbs crystal and the 3/4 lbs of light DME I have left over from last batch. Thanks for your suggestions.

I am going to get on the 1lb of crystal train, and if you are trying to keep it from getting too sweet, I suggest adding some sugar... read this thread. I have been using a pound or more of corn sugar in bigger beers to keep them from being too syrupy.

After evaluating all the suggesstions and reading the main points of the thread s3n8 referred me to and running the numbers through BeerSmith, I've decided to take y'all's advice and drop to 1 lb of crystal and the 3/4 lbs of Light DME I said I was going to add anyway. It drops my ABV by a whopping .2%, lol, and all other critical numbers are acceptable. Thanks for all your suggestions and I will let you know how it turns out.

I found this fact surprising, as I would do exactly that in my own spreadsheets to account for the higher fermentability of PM'd grains versus extract. And the crystal malts don't ferment much, if at all. From my numbers, I'd guess they are less than 10% fermentable.
Yeah, so the long winded way of saying I agree, less Crystal.
